PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY TO AVOID WASTING MY TIME AND YOURS.
AS BUILT, THE SITE IS CLOSE TO WHAT I WANT IT TO BE, BASED ON A STOCK TEMPLATE - I WANT BOTH THE STYLE AND FUNCTIONALITY CLEANED UP AND REFINED.
I WANT THE FIRST STEP TO BE THE DESIGNER LOOKING AT MY EXISTING SITE AND DISCUSSING MY CONCERNS WITH ME. DO NOT JUST SEND ME STOCK TEMPLATES TO LOOK AT. I HAVE LOOKED AT HUNDREDS.

Looking for designer to redo a frontend for an existing Joomla based site.
Client is a consulting firm
Re-Design can be modification of the existing template, or can be started from from scratch, if you prefer.
It will be relatively simple, but it should be a professional, serious business site.
A few design elements and the company logo exist already, I would like the interface cleaned up a bit and the following:
-redesigned style/stylesheet applied (Titles, fonts, etc)
-Basic page layout (spacing, justification, placement of photos and graphical elements)
-Clearer Submenus,
-Sizing and spacing of type
-Color scheme,
-and some extra functionality added (blog pages, space for RSS feeds, mail form on contact pages, etc)
The only real complexity is that the company has two separate business units and it has to be visually clear which one a visitor is looking at -- maybe by subtle color or shading changes or some other mechanism.
In addition to experience with professional site design, this job requires excellent English - I would like to communicate well about the project
Please send samples of similar type work.
I am NOT interested in cartoon, graffiti, hip-hop, goth etc. style samples for this job.
